ABUJA — National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, has called for urgent and decisive action to end renewed killings in Benue and Plateau states, saying Nigerians need concrete measures rather than repeated assurances.
Mark spoke on Monday following reports of attacks that claimed about 16 lives in Otukpo, Benue State, and nine others in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, the former Senate President said perpetrators of violence must be brought to justice.
“The blood of innocent Benue people cries out for justice. This is the time for decisive action, not routine assurances. Those who murder innocent citizens and terrorise our communities must face the full weight of the law. Benue deserves peace. Our people deserve to live without fear,” Mark said.
